EASTER SUNDAY.

Easter Sunday was observed by ap-

Catholic churches Of the city. At the
Church of the Immaculate Conception

altar was decorated with foliage plants

The Mass was celebrated b. Rev. T. Cor

HE privy council of Ireland has or
dered Limerick and other ports under

the importation of arms and ammuni-

MIR. Parnell counsel the people of Ire
land to keep their temper there is n t
much need of such an order, but Of
course the Tories must trump up some

THE HYDE PARK MEETING.

It is doubtful if Mr.. Gladstone, when
he issued his letter to the miners Of
North Great Britain last Saturday
urging them to attend the demonstra-
ton in Hyde Park on Easter Monday,
had any idea that such an immense
gathering would be the result. 1t was
beyond question the greatest and most
significant political demonstration ever
held in London. One hundred and
fifty thousand people assembled tovoice
the sentiments Of the working classes
Of the city of London concerning the
Tory policy Of coercion. as it is pro-
posed to be enforced in Ireland! Who
ever expected to survive the day when
such a demonstration would be held i'll
London by people who were willing
to candidly confess that in the past Ire
land had been wrongfully and shame
fully treated. and that they would show
by their presence continuation of such
a policy would no longer be counten-
anced by at least large portion of the
English population
The procession took an hour and
a-haf to file into the park, and was or
DERBY and enthusiastic. Fourteen plat
forms had been erected, from which
speakers addressed those grouped about
them. The greatest number gathered
around the platform from which Lord
Mayor Sullivan, of Dublin, and Messrs.
Conybeare and William Redmond,
members Of Parliament, spoke. AS
might be anticipated, the speeches dealt
with the bill which was recently sub
mitted by the Tory Ministry to the
House Of Commons for the government
of Ireland. It was thoroughly digested
and shown to contain no redeeming fea-
ture, but evidently designed to exasper-
ate the Irish people and drive them into
rebellion. The speech Of Lord Mayor

WHAT THE GARRISON COSTS.

Facts cannot lie, and when they are
qualified with indisputable figures their
infallibillty becomes more and more ap'
parent. Mr.. John ?. Sutton, secretary
of the 1. N. L. of Nebraska quotes some
figures to show the amount that Ire
land pays annually for her police ana
prison service. He compares the ex-
penditure for this service in Ireland
with that for the same purpose In Great
Britain. From Mr.. Sutton's carefully
prepared statistics it appears that
Ireland, with population of I'M
der 100000, pays annually for her
police and prison service no less than
IS 291 1893, while Great Britain with
population of nearly S2,OO0,000
pays only for the same purpose the
comparatively moderate sum OF $l0,-
646,OS6 In other words, while the
population of Ireland is only 1886 per
cent of the population of Great Britain,
the amount of money that comes out OF
the peoples pockets to sustain this SER
vice is 77.SS per cent OF the sum ex-
pended for the same purpose in Great
Britain, and these figures do not en-
brace the cost of penitentiaries. This
extraordinary difference does not arse
from proportionately greater amount
of crime in Ireland, for such a ratio
does not exist.
There is no reason whatever for this
enormous expenditure of public money.
The Irish people are compelled to pay
their hard earnings to keep up this in
iquitous constabulary system, the only
object of which is to tyrannize over
them and harrass them into committing
crimes. The money thus expended
would defray the legitimate expenses
of form of self~government like that
which the ratepayers are now de-
manding.

THE; SITUATION

The Irish situation cannot be said tt

past two or three weeks. Notwith

will! result disastrously to himself and
his party. 1t is doubtful if the beasts
are responsible for their actions-they
are only following in the tracks OF thelr
ancestors, who were ill-behayed ami
malls.
Mr.. Gladstone and his trusty lieu
tenants are pouring an incessant voley
of hot-shot into the ranks of the Tories
and while they may not succeed in
ayerting the passage of the Crimes Act
amendment, they are moulding a
strong and effective weapon OF warfare
--public opinion, Were MI. Gladstone
and his followers to go to tie country
to-day there can be no doubt hut what
they would reverse the decision which
empowered the Tories to carry out any
policy they might see fit with regard to
Ireland.
It isconceded by all that MI. Gladstone
went before the country for contirma-
tion of his policy too soon atter his own
conversion. The masses had scarcely
time to consider the question in the
light England's first statesman placed1t,
and were not prepared to accept it in
it's entirety just at that time. II takes
a long time to convince the ordinary
Englishman that he is in the wrong,
but when he does experience change

life's blood.
In the meantime, it might not be
anliss to remark. the American people
are doing their duty towards ireland.
They do not forget that during the
revolutionary war the city Of Dublin
alone contributed 100000 to assist the
American army wintering at Valley
Forge: neither do they forget that at
every stage of the fight for Independ-
ence the purses of Irishnen We're al
ways found easy of access when assist
ance was required. In this connection
it might be stated that American
assistance to Ireland does not involve
any breach of international courtesy to
England 50 long as the Liberals and
Nationalist adhere to the policy Of
combining themselves to legal methods
for the amelioration Of the Irish race.
ireland can count on American assist
ance until the struggle is ended.
The peaceable condition Of Ireland at

disorder, is a matter of much congratu-

men of London that the hopes of the
hard working tenantry Of Ireland shall
be forever crushed down? It is scarcely
necessary to state that tremendous
responsive mo" resounded throughout
the park.
MIR. Davitt, in a speech, referred tt
demonstration as a proof of the ap-
preaching solidarity of the people OF
Great Britain and Ireland. In proper
ton as the masses began to understand
each other, so the classes became
alarmed. The privileged classes well
knew the tendency Of the Irish move,
ment, and sought to crush the Irish
leaders, hoping to prevent the English
people following the example set by the
Irish. But they would hold the fort in
Ireland. On the day on which the
Crimes Act should become law they
would either have to give up the strug-
gle that had been waged for centuries,
and lie down as slaves, or render the
system impossible of duration. They
would follow the manlier course. The
classes had in the past built bridge OF
hate across the Irish Sea, and the peo-
Pile would pull it down and erect q
bridge of love between the toi)ers OF
Ireland and the workers of England.
Mr.. Davitt's speech was a wonderful
exemplifcation of the magnanimity of
that gentleman. Few men who have
suffered as the one-armed patriot has
could utter such sentiments, and every
person who knows anything about the
man will believe that he meant every
thing be said
Other speeches followed, all condemn
ing The Tory policy. At 4:30 o'clock a
bugle sounded, and at this prearranged
signal resolution condemning the
Crimes Bill was put simultaneously at
all of the platforms. The resolution
was carried amid prolonged chorus of
cheers.
The significance Of this demonstration
can, on first thought. scarcely be appre-
ciated at its true value. 1t affords suf-
ficient proof that the seuse of justice
and humanity among the British masses
has been strongly aroused against sc
brutal and unnecessary an attempt to
enslave the Irish people. Again, it
means that Irishmen, knowing thei1
cause is gaining ground will take heart
and continue the fight until the desired
result is attained. AS MIR. Sullivan ap
propriately and truthfnlly remarked
the demonstration has carried hope and
ioy into the hearts Of the Irish people

the meeting will have considerable in

THE HUM0R OF 1.-THE TIMES"

It is hard to conceive what object the
London Times has in view in making
certain suggestions to the Salisbury
Government. if it is not to increase the
difficulty of the Tories, or deep rooted
spite against Ireland. III the latest
issue of 1.-THE Thunderer" to hand we
observe it makes sugg estion to the ef-
feet that 1t would be a well-deserved
compliment to the Irish ''loyalists, ~ and
especially to the FISHERMEN to bring
Colonel Saunderson into the Govern
ment as Under Secretary, and offers as
one of his qualifications that he pos
sesses a ''fund of genial humor." Ii
humos is one of the qualifications of a
British Minister, we do not see why the
grim ,lumorist' that wrote the article
which contained this suggestion should
mot be Immediately taken in" Just
fancy the affairs of a people being
placed in the hands of ''humorist"
who is not above cracking a joke"
over the grave of Nationalist. Colonel
Saunderson is the most thoroughly de-
tested creature who has ever taken an
active part in Irish politics, if We might
except the traitor OF whom Lord Byron
Nrote,-
"Cold-blooded, smooth-faced. placid miscreant"
However the Times suggestion was
not acted upon, from which it might be
inferred that the Tories do not feel like
paying compliments to the Ulstermen.
ILIrpREATING IRISH PRISONERS.
The information which Doyle, who
was recently released from an English
prison on ticket-of-leave. gives with
regard to the treatment Irish prisoners
at the hands Of English prison officials,
will not surprise any one who has ever
devoted any time to the perusal OF
the works on the prison life of Irish pa
triots. For instance, Michael Davitt
could relate very many cases wherein
his irish fellow prisoners had suffered
untold miseries for trivial breaches OF
prison discipline and not infrequently
when the same were perpetrated by Eng
lish prisoners the Irish had to suffer the
penalty attached to such violation.
This is only in accordance with the
practice which has always been carried
out by those in authority in England.
Why it is thus scarcely requires any ex-
PLANTATION when it is considered that in
England until quite recently it was
considered an objectionable offense to
be an Irishman. Almost the first thing
a child was taught was to hate "the
Irish" and it must be confessed that
through life they never forgot their
early teachings, but carried them out in
4 manner worthy Of better cause.
